Snackbox Moves into Whit Hanks Building

By Christine Vivoli, Snackbox

This past month Snackbox has moved its headquarters into the historic Whit Hanks building on West Sixth Street. This unique space brings a culturally enriching experience to the Snackbox office.  Clients are sure to enjoy their visit once the Snackbox team is all settled into their new home.

This move to West Sixth Street was inspired by some of our clients just down the street from the all new HQ: Jose Luis Salon, Barley + Pfeiffer Architects and Nest Modern.

Snackbox is continuing to expand its Austin presence, and what better location to do so? An established area of Austin is just the right place to house our team’s first official office space.  Great creativity is taking place inside this office.
